Answer:

x=2.5 or x=-4

Step-by-step explanation:

factorisation= factors:1, 2, 4, 5, 10, 20 (only the positive factors)

We will use the factors 4 and 5.

=(2x-5)(x+4)=0

2x-5=0   || x+4=0

2x=+5      || x=-4

x=2.5  or x=-4

Answer:

x = 5/2, -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 3x - 20            

NOTE:  2 * -20 = -40 so we need 2 numbers whose product is - 40 and whose sum is + 3.  These are + 8 and -5, so we write

= 2x^2 + 8x - 5x - 20     Factor by grouping:

= 2x(x + 4) - 5(x + 4)

= (2x - 5)(x + 4)

so x = 5/2, -4 are the roots.

Answer:

60 square units; 40 units

Step-by-step explanation:

to find the missing side you use the pythagorean theorem

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

8^2 + b^2 = 17^2

64 + b^2 = 289

b^2 = 225

b = 15

area is l*h*1/2

15 * 8 * 1/2 = 60 square units

perimeter is adding them all

15 + 8 + 17 = 40 units

The area of a plot of land is 2496 square meters. A small part of the land is fenced. The ratio of the area of the plot of land
AfilCa [17]
My late response (haha): First, you would write a proportion.

Step 1: 2496 over 48 = x over 31
(x represents the area of the land that is not fenced).

Step 2: Cross multiply
2496 times 31 and x times 48

Step 3: Calculate
77376 = 48x

Step 4: Divide both sides by 48
77376/48 = 1612
48x/48 = x

Step 5: Write it as a sentence 
The area of the land that is not fenced is 1612 squared meters. 

Hope that helped! Good luck! :]
